NETGEAR has recently introduced their latest updates to the ReadyNAS family: the ReadyNAS 526x and ReadyNAS 626x. Looking for a robust and powerful network attached storage (NAS) solution for your small business that will probably not slow down with age? These new ReadyNAS units come loaded with dual 10 Gigabit ports, support Intel server CPUs (Xeon and Pentium flavours), offer up to 60 TB of data capacity and can support up to 120 employees.

Both 6-bay desktop NAS models, ReadyNAS 526X and ReadyNAS 626X, run the latest Netgear ReadyNAS OS, version 6. Being touted as being the fastest desktop NAS in the world for SOHO operations, this could be a perfect fit for those who work with high resolution digital media such as ultra-HD 4K video or even the upcoming 8K video format.
